Description

@mharbut

Hello,

The links and API queries for the NASA Exoplanet Archive need to be updated on the api.nasa.gov page. The archive has migrated almost all of its data tables to use the Table Access Protocol (TAP), which changes the base URL of API queries.

Here is the suggested updated text and links:

Introduction

The Exoplanet Archive API allows programmatic access to NASA's Exoplanet Archive database. This API contains a ton of options, so to get started, please visit this page for introductory materials. To see what data is available in this API visit here, and also be sure to check out best-practices and troubleshooting in case you get stuck. Happy planet hunting!
